I visited New York City for the first time last week. It was a business trip - a media event showing the latest unique pet products. (I will post pictures when they become available).
While it is quite a distance from SE Florida, I decided to drive so I could bring a variety of products to show at the event. Cookie came along for the ride and also to be our model.
The event was held at the New York Barclay Hotel in midtown Manhattan. They recently became pet friendly, and I must say, Cookie felt very welcome by everyone that worked there as well as other guests.
What we didn't realize, unfortunately, is that while New Yorkers love their dogs, unless your dog is a "city dog", you might have problems. Being a professional "Furry Traveler", I thought I was prepared for everything. There were a few items I had wished I brought, however.
Of course we took our To Go Bowl on the trip so Cookie could drink whenever she wanted while in the car. This bowl was then brought into the hotel and used on the floor for her water bowl. I had brought a folding travel bowl for her food, but this didn't work well for us. Since she is a small dog and I didn't need to put a lot of food in the bowl, it would start to fold down when she put her face into it. She didn't like that and I ended up hand feeding her. The Kurgo Collaps-a-bowl would have been better. It stays rigid until you manually collapse it. The Little Buddy Lunchbox would have been convenient, too. I could have stored her dog food in it, as well.
Then there was the "potty" issue. I knew NYC was not known for its lush landscaping, but I thought there would be grass somewhere. There was - Central Park - about a 20 minute walk from the hotel. Of course I have seen it on television, but it truly is a beautiful, gigantic park, with street vendors and performers, ball parks, outdoor (pet friendly) restaurants... We had a great time exploring the park and Cookie had blocks and blocks and blocks to find the perfect spot to go.
The next morning we tried a closer dog park, just a couple blocks away. While it didn't have a lot of grass, it was fenced and right on the Hudson River. A great place for dogs to run and have fun. We walked back on a different block that did have some grassy patches. I guess a city dog doesn't need grass and I'm sure Cookie would eventually adjust if necessary. Next time I will bring our Pup Head, though. This would have made things so much easier!
I took many of the products we sell to make the trip safer and more convenient. One necessity is the Kurgo Tru-Fit Smart Harness. It kept Cookie safe while driving and then when we stopped, I clipped her leash to it for a quick walk. It is padded, so nice and comfortable for Cookie, and easy for me, as it simply slips over her head and clips around her chest. Of course Leash Luggage, the Bow Wow Bag, waste bags, reflective collar are other items that made traveling more convenient.
We also took Cookie's stroller. This made it easy to maneuver in the crowds, get on the hotel elevator, eat at the cafe. It was hot in NYC last week so I think all the walking in the hot weather would have been too much for the little one.
And no trip is ever made without her EBD Carry-All bag. I love this bag! It has a pocket for everything so it is easy to stay organized. Cookie is our Furry Travelers model, so she her share of supplies we bring on each trip and needs her own bag in which to carry them.
I wish we had been able to stay in New York City longer and look forward to going back in the future!

It's really important for pet parents to take care of their doggies and kitties teeth. Just like humans, pets also have very sensitive teeth that need a lot of attention and care, even when you're on the go! Single-use toothbrushes make it easy to provide dental care for your pets, especially when you're traveling. Each disposable toothbrush contains a mint-flavored toothpaste that automatically dispenses through the bristles with a push of your thumb. The disposable toothbrush effectively distributes hydrogen peroxide gel that removes tartar build-up and fights bad breath! Now for your next trip, you'll have two toothbrushes not to forget!
